I mean if a fleet of over 360 outsourced CRJ-200s on long term contracts to near bankrupt regionals is all of a sudden a bad idea, why is replacing the CRJ-200s with outsourced CRJ-900s to the same airlines a better idea?
How long til those become a bad idea and we have to move the scope line to compensate for all of these bad ides? Sure we could say "oh but that won't happen!!"
Okay, but when the first "bad idea" showed up in the early 1990s I doubt this was on anyone's radar as a swap solution to the unprofitable "bad idea":
Exactly. Even if you guys cut ASMs in the process, moving DCI to larger equipment only sets a precedent for future contracts. After 255 76 seaters become uneconomical are you going to allow DCI to operate 170 717s for the same reason?
Is this the future of DCI?
